Hey everyone :) I'm sitting in San Francisco airport just waiting to board my flight back to Australia & wanted to jump on here to say thank you to everyone that showed support to me leading into last nights fight!! I have only but one excuse; I was defeated by a far superior wrestler in Carla Esparza!! She is a tremendous athlete & a genuine person. I congratulate her on her well deserved & hard fought victory but make no mistake... I would LOVE to test my skills against her again someday when I've earnt the chance!! She deserves a lot of praise :)

I had no injuries going into last nights fight, no jet lag, my preparation was great, even though the style of opponent changed last minute & I was 100% mentally good to go. I've seen a lot of people talking shizzle on Carla's approach to the fight, but it's MMA so it was what it was!! I wasn't good enough to submit, sweep or get back up, so I deserved to lose on points. I tried to fight my fight & make it entertaining for you all but I still hope you were happy with my performance. I'm physically fine, just heart broken & I'm back into training in a couple days to work on my weaknesses. While I didn't win, I really hope I earnt the respect of people who thought I wasn't going to make it out of round one. My trainers & I would have never accepted this fight if we thought that, I truly believe I belong on this level & before this fight I fought whoever was put in front of me, which isn't much in Australia!! I'm only 23 years old with less than 3 years experience & I just went 5 rounds with the #4 ranked 115lbs fighter in the WORLD on a weeks notice!! I am really sorry if I let anyone down :(

Thank you so much to Invicta Fighting Championships, Carla Esparza, my team Impact MMA in Brisbane, Australia, all my sponsors & YOOOOU, my supporters. I will be back on the UG in about 24 hours to reply to any questions in all of the threads I've seen, I just don't have the time at the moment. I'LL BE BACK!! :)

Thanks guys... means a lot :) I have a pretty sore jaw at the moment & a splitting headache LOL!! For my troubles could someone post some GIF's of my fight up?? I haven't been able to watch it. I don't care if they're GIF's of me getting beat up. Also would a mod be able to sticky this until I get back home?? I've seen so many threads about me on here & once I spend some time with my children back home I'll make sure to come on & answer any questions in all of them :) I hope my UG sign flash was seen on the PPV... it was when I was entering the cage :) <3

Wow... that was quick :) Thank you!! Do you have any of the last couple seconds, my superman punch or when Carla took my back after turning me into a rolly polly?? Also I remember Carla hit me pretty hard with some GNP at some point?? :) My flight is being called now... I got a 4 hour stop over in Sydney so will come back on then!!

Im glad you thought it was bitter sweet. Wicked performance. Your standup is on another level and as i said after your valour and nitro fights, you will be an international superstar.Your ground game was actually pretty decent compared to what carlas done in the past to others.Have a good flight back home but next time bring a belt back to brissy ;)
